Unlike some of competitors in the telecom market, TelcoBridges has never yet discontinued any of its merchandise, and the company continues to support all of the telecom equipment it has sold since it was founded in 2002. TelcoBridges is able to offer its customers such reliability by designing long-lasting and reliable products, and building strong relationships with only the best suppliers that can also commit to a no-EOL policy. The company actively seeks out vendors that will take part in this pledge, allowing it to continuously source materials for its components. Moreover, TelcoBridges takes care to craft long-term supply agreements with its suppliers so that it can avoid circumstances that might result in EOL announcements. #### Product End-of-Life Policy TelcoBridges remains steadfast in its commitment to avoid EOL announcement for any of the products it offers. However, If such a situation should arise, the company has developed a generous EOL plan that guides its customers through a gratuitous transition from their legacy equipment to new devices. This [policy](http://dfb5dtp2yq5y7.cloudfront.net/assets/186/End_of_Life_Policy_12-10-2011.pdf) applies to all End-of-Sale announcements from September 1st, 2011 onward. #### Product End-of-Sale Announcements TelcoBridges has never issued any End-of-Sale Announcements. However, for all variants of TB640 products, we propose our customers new devices which have better performance: * For TB640F-8T and TB640-16T, the replacement product is [TMG800](/tmedia-documentation/products/tmedia/tmg800.md) or TMP800 * For TB640F-32T, TB640-64T, TB640-DS3, TB640-STM1 the replacement product is [TMG3200](/tmedia-documentation/products/tmedia/tmg3200.md), TMP6400 or [TMG7800](/tmedia-documentation/products/tmedia/tmg7800.md) product family The new devices support all protocols of the TB640 products. The new devices have more memory and can run more protocols simultaneously. New protocols integrated by TelcoBridges are added to the new devices only. The shipping lead time for the new devices is much shorter. Please contact \[mailto: ] for more details. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/tmedia-documentation/operations-and-support/support/policies/end-of-life-eol-policy.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
